Abstract:
We present the spectral line narrowing effect in a Λ three-level atomic system where one transition is coupled by a coupling laser and the narrow feature is observed by probing the other transition with a weak laser. As coupling laser detuning increases the electromagnetically induced transparency resonance is observed to evolve into electromagnetically induced absorption resonance with sub-natural linewidth. The linewidth of the narrow spectral feature is studied as a function of coupling laser detuning and the atomic system parameters. The result is explained using density matrix density equation in the dressed-atom picture.
